About

Somerville Moms Kerstin Sinkevicius and Aimee Mills were inspired to organize a diaper drive after reading this heartbreaking article. Kerstin and Aimee met through the Somerville Moms Yahoo Listserv group, which is a popular parenting forum that has over 4000 members in the Somerville area. During the first drive in 2013, 13,166 diapers were collected.  In 2014 and 2015, 22,674 and 37,644 diapers were donated, respectively.  In 2016, Kim Jalet took over for Aimee and became the diaper drive's co-coordinator. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated diapers, all the wonderful businesses and schools who host diaper donation boxes, the volunteers who manage the drop off boxes at each site, the Somerville WIC office for distributing the diapers, and Somerville Mom and graphic designer Kristen Cox for designing our website header and flyers!
